The Mineola Twins
Published by Dramatists Play Service
3 Male 2 Female
There are two ways to produce this play: 1) with good wigs or 2) with bad wigs
The second way is preferred. Myrna and Myra, almost identical twins, battle each other through the Eisenhower, Nixon and Reagan/Bush years over virginity, Vietnam and Family Values
"Ms Vogel's script is most ingeniousThe sisters' opposition, neatly representing the schism between right and left in the United States, is self-destructive, and each subliminally longs for connection with the other
As the nightmare spins itself out, fears of nuclear attack, sexual predation and familial estrangement meld in a way that haunts even as it teases" - The New York Times
